Prominent Journalist to Speak on Mainland Media’s Finances and Ethics

Zhu Xuedong, a veteran journalist who has served as top editor at a number of leading news magazines and newspapers in mainland China, will speak at The University of Hong Kong on September 15.

The theme of Zhu’s talk will be “Chinese Media Against the Bottom line (粗鄙時代的中國傳媒),” an exploration of how the mainland media are struggling to survive in an era of corruption, and to maintain professionalism as material and political concerns push them toward unethical conduct.

Zhu’s talk, sponsored by HKU’s Journalism and Media Studies Centre, will be in Mandarin.
